SPOKES ON WHEEL LOOSEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS MAY CAUSE THE SPOKES TO BREAK CAUSING THE RIM TO GO OUT OF ROUND AND POSSIBLY CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM APPLIES TO ALL H-D BIG TWIN MODELS WITH THE 103CI AND LARGER ENGINES WITH THE STOCK WIRED WHEELS. *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
